The Cooking Application is a user-friendly mobile app that leverages the power of the Spoonacular API (https://spoonacular.com/food-api/console#Dashboard) to provide users with a delightful culinary experience. The app seamlessly integrates with the API to offer a range of features that enhance the user's cooking journey.
Hungry for a culinary adventure? You're in the right place! Our Cooking App, powered by the Spoonacular API, is your kitchen companion, ready to make your cooking journey a whole lot tastier.

Here's what our app brings to the table:
Kick off your culinary exploration in the "MainActivity." It's like opening a surprise recipe box filled with all sorts of dishes, from main courses to mouthwatering desserts and refreshing beverages.
When you find a recipe that tickles your taste buds, hop into the "RecipeActivity." Here, you'll get the inside scoop on your chosen dish, including its name, source, and a tantalizing image. Plus, we've got the nitty-gritty details like ingredient lists to ensure you're ready to cook up a storm.
As you're checking out a recipe in the "RecipeActivity," we'll suggest up to four similar recipes. It's like having a culinary assistant, always ready with exciting alternatives that match your preferences.
Got a recipe that deserves a spot in your personal cookbook? Simply hit the "Save Recipe" button. Your saved recipes will have a cozy home in the "Saved Recipes" section, making sure your culinary inspirations are never too far away.
We've made it super easy to move around. The "Home" button in the "RecipeActivity" lets you jump back to the "MainActivity" in a snap, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Customize your recipe hunt with our menu spinner. Pick from a variety of tags that sort recipes into categories like main courses, side dishes, desserts, appetizers, salads, and more. It's like having a personal food filter to discover dishes that match your cravings.
